True

...ever sat down beneath a spreading tree and gazed up at the pale blue sky, spread lightly with wispy clouds, just to think about someone for whom you care deeply?

...danced under a midnight sky, sprinkled with the delicately burning stars?

...opened a leather-bound book that has sat on the shelf for months, and felt as if you were becoming reacquainted with a long-missed friend?That is a picture of God's delight in you.Have you ever had a broken heart?

...wept until you were out of tears over the struggles of a beloved brother, fighting his way through old memories, stamped indelibly in his mind...if only you could free him...if only...?

...carried the secret pains of a friend on your own heart, wishing you could fight her battles for her...wishing that you could make her understand how beautiful she is...?This is a picture of God's pain at your sorrow.

Have you ever experienced true love?...had someone love you so much that they would give up their comfort, their freedom, their dreams, their very lives to keep you safe?

...had someone wrap their arms around you and just let you cry your heart out into their shoulder, knowing that their heart is breaking because you are suffering?This is a picture of God's love for you.

This is a picture of my God.True delight.True sorrow.True love."And God demonstrates His love for us in this...while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." -Romans 5:8"Great love has none than this: that a man lays down his life for his friends." -John 15:13
